Personal Statement

Personal Statement:

In Transpersonal Psychology, the process of achieving a Peak Experience is called Self-Actualization. Self-actualized people tend to focus on problems outside themselves; have a clear sense of what is true and false; are spontaneous and creative; and are not bound strictly by social conventions. To achieve these goals, sometimes certain aspects of an individual need to change.
I believe that every person has a strong desire to realize his or her full potential, to reach their level of Self-Actualization. I use mindfulness techniques, dream work, vision process, and psycho-educational material to facilitate deeper change in individuals. I also use the Solution Focused Model – building on clients’ strength and empowering them. Everyone has the inner resources for growth and healing, and the purpose of therapy is to help remove the obstacles to achieving this.

At the core of many personal issues lie old messages of your sense of worth. Those messages conveyed to you while growing-up that minimized your self-esteem. The journey inward toward your past can often be frightening and disheartening. By slowly revisiting the wounded part of yourself, old repetitive behaviors can cease to exist. A new sense of kindness toward yourself will begin to emerge. Allow me to travel with you to discover what is buried deep inside of your soul, exploring what keeps you from becoming all that you want to be.
